00:00Well, I thank Prime Minister Mikati and my friend Nejab for his warm welcome and our

00:07always useful exchange of views.

00:12I want to say that I am proud of being the first head of government to visit Lebanon

00:18since the beginning of the military escalation and the only one who visited twice since October

00:287 last year.

00:30And my presence here today is first of all an expression of solidarity and closeness

00:35to civilians from all sides who are suffering from the consequences of the conflict.

00:41As you know, Italy, together with the other international partners, has been calling for

00:46a 21-day ceasefire for weeks now.

00:51And I want to thank the Prime Minister as well as Speaker Berry, whom I'll meet later

00:57today, for having accepted this proposal.

01:01It is very, very important for us.

01:03I came from Brussels, where I attended the European Council, and obviously the crisis

01:09in the Middle East was at the core of our works.

01:13And I can assure you that we are all working for a sustainable ceasefire in Gaza and here

01:19in Lebanon.

01:21We are supporting negotiations for the release of Israeli hostages from the hands of Hamas,

01:28and we are all striving to find the best ways to assist the civilian populations hit by

01:33this war.
